Badass

Rating: 8/10 (22 July 2013)

This is a really entertaining movie. Everything about it is really cool. Badass robot designs. Scary monsters. Cool fighting scenes. Beautiful visuals. The 3D effect wasn't an after thought. It was actually really noticeable and added to the movie's beautiful visual design. Pacific Rim is an homage to the monster movie genre and to many anime series such Evangelion. If you are a fan you will love this movie. The plot is fairly simple and the characters are not that deep but despite this there are still a few emotionally gripping scenes. I really enjoyed the atmosphere of the film. It struck a balance between seriousness and lightheartedness. The movie is serious enough to make you care enough for the characters and believe that the world is plausible. Yet it is light enough for you to have fun and a good laugh at times.
Overall, a really good time at the theatre. 8 Jagers out of 10
